Chapter 34: Chapter 32 Bottleneck, Stretching the Muscle and Bone_1
“One vegetable dish, one soup, plus rice—that was their midday al.
Although it was simple, it had both at and vegetables, making it a rare feast in this apocalyptic world.
Zhang Yuan, her high heels replaced with flat shoes and her stockings torn off and thrown into the trash bin, moved her legs and, with her skirt fluttering, carried the prepared al to Li Ming’s bedroom.
Li Ming had a feeling that he would have a breakthrough in the afternoon and achieve a new round of bodily enhancent, so he didn’t absentmindedly eat as he usually did, in order not to waste the energy contained in his body.
Li Ming behaved himself throughout the whole lunch, which made Zhang Yuan feel a little uncomfortable. She inquired curiously about the reason and understood why. She promptly moved away from Li Ming, sitting opposite him to eat.
This al was very plain.
After eating, Li Ming lay on the bed continuing his nap, while Zhang Yuan washed the pots and dishes, served the leftover food to her husband, and then ca over to sleep with Li Ming.
As the saying goes, one drop of sen equals ten drops of blood. As his constitution was improving, Li Ming thought it best not to drain himself.
So, during his nap, Li Ming earnestly exercised his willpower to hold back until after his nap when he would practice his boxing.
The peace of the morning had sowhat restored Zhang Yuan’s condition, making her look even more radiant. Seeing that Li Ming began to practice his boxing, she also began to work hard to sharpen the drills for him.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room was quite peaceful.
“Huff, huff…”
Li Ming exhaled lightly, practicing a variety of punches—chopping, drilling, and more. With each punch, he corrected his own power and posture.
Sweat poured from his pores, a testant to his effort.
Ti passed slowly amid the basic pugilism practice.
In the room, one person was practicing his boxing, and the other was sharpening drills. Before they knew it, an entire afternoon had passed.
Just as Li Ming thought, at nine o’clock in the evening, his boxing had, based on the foundation of sword and spearplay, reached 99% proficiency.
“Huff~”
Li Ming gasped for breath, temporarily stopping his practice.
His boxing skills at the proficient level were already quite high; even though he had the basics of spear techniques and swordsmanship, he was still drenched in sweat and panting after practicing for the whole afternoon.
The sweat ran down his body, forming a puddle on the ground.
He got up and drank a few sips of the salt water Zhang Yuan had prepared, then sat on the chair to catch his breath. He beckoned Zhang Yuan with his hand, “I brought back a few boxes of milk powder. Could you open a can for and prepare it with warm water.”
“Ah, sure.”
Zhang Yuan, hearing Li Ming’s instruction, was montarily stunned, not fully understanding why. But seeing the sweat on Li Ming’s body, she quickly got up to prepare the warm water and milk powder.
The energy contained in milk powder is extrely high, containing vitamins, protein, fat, calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, etc. It has the effects of protecting bones, improving sleep quality, and promoting physical developnt.
Therefore, even though Li Ming was eating more now, he still chose to supplent his body with milk powder for its necessary growth energy.
After regaining so strength, he saw Zhang Yuan prepare the water and milk powder. She had thoughtfully added sugar then he got up, steadied his figure, and once again started practicing boxing in the living room.
Chopping, drilling, blasting, every punch was thrown out, the proficiency on the panel instantly maxed out, the next mont his mind was flooded with techniques of Form and Intent Five Elents Fist, his body suddenly surged with a strong sense of hunger.
Li Ming, who had been prepared for this, quickly walked over to the bowl of milk powder that Zhang Yuan had prepared. He drank the whole bowl of milk powder and then, to Zhang Yuan’s astonishnt, drank another and another until the entire box of milk powder was finished.
“This, this, this…”
Zhang Yuan was speechless, but she soon saw Li Ming’s physique visibly becoming more robust. She realized that this must be the situation where the superhuman ability Li Ming ntioned earlier was taking effect.
Li Ming had previously said that he had a superhuman ability and he had the chance to grow stronger by consuming a large amount of food, as long as he trained hard.
This must be the situation where his superhuman ability was working, right?
After Zhang Yuan figured this out, her gaze toward Li Ming was full of wonder.
Seeing Li Ming’s drenched body, she couldn’t help but move her beautiful long legs towards the bathroom to get a small basin of water. She wet a towel and approached him to tenderly wipe his sweat.
Zhang Yuan’s eyes were full of stars, a mixture of anticipation and tension rising in her heart.
“Huff~”
Li Ming stretched out his arms, allowing Zhang Yuan to wipe him down, his eyes half closed as he felt the changes in his body.
He could feel it, the strength in his waist and back had grown again, and along with it, the power in his limbs had also improved.
“It seems that the main power of Five Elents Boxing lies in the muscles of the waist and back.”
A thought flashed through his mind, and Li Ming looked at his mirror, which Zhang Yuan had brought in from the bedroom. He could vaguely feel that he’s grown slightly taller, and his muscular body radiated a strong sense of power, although it seed rely well-proportioned.
[Form and Intent Five Elents Boxing (Quite Novice 0%)]
Seeing the line of words on the panel, a smile crossed Li Ming’s mouth. Nodding in satisfaction, he waited for Zhang Yuan to finish wiping his body, then tried out his new form and intent Five Elents Boxing.
“Whoosh whoosh…”
In an instant, a fierce boxing wind howled in the living room. The five fists moved tightly in a rotation, each one possessing imnse power. It wasn’t until he finished his last punch that Li Ming nodded in satisfaction.
“The power of each punch has doubled compared to before, and different punches have different effects. Just relying on my bare fists, I already have a certain fighting ability.”
Li Ming was content in his heart, but what annoyed him was that after his Form and Intent Five Elents Boxing reached the level of minor achievent, it stopped improving, just like his spear and sword techniques, even though he had just executed it flawlessly.
Although it was only one ti, he knew clearly that no matter how many tis he practiced, his level wouldn’t improve if he only practiced the boxing technique.
Because even his spear technique hadn’t progressed after all the actual battles, not even by a re 1%.
In this case, the boxing and sword techniques at the sa level would inevitably be the sa.
“Could it be that I’ve hit so sort of bottleneck?”
Li Ming couldn’t help but ponder in his heart. He examined his state—he was familiar enough with all the spear, sword, and fist techniques. Everything was at the limit of what he could achieve at present. If he wanted to improve, he didn’t even know where to start.
The only thing he could improve seed to be his physical fitness. Only with a breakthrough in his physical quality, and with it even stronger power, would he have a chance to elevate the level of these skills.
With such conjectures in his mind, Li Ming frowned again. He felt that although his body had beco stronger, sothing still felt off.
He couldn’t put a finger on this feeling. He couldn’t help but try to move around in the living room, only to find that his body felt heavy.
Was this where that off feeling was coming from?
He could not describe this heaviness. His body clearly had power, and his reaction speed was very fast while standing still. But when it ca to transitioning steps, it felt a bit stiff.
What’s going on?
Li Ming was taken aback, then frowned.
“Could it be that my training lacks a systematic approach and I’ve overlooked the basics?”
Li Ming subconsciously thought of this, then rembered the basic martial arts skills stored in his cache—the flexibility of his muscles and bones was really not up to standard.
Should I… start stretching my muscles and bones a bit, starting from tomorrow?
Having had this thought, Li Ming thought about it and made a plan in his heart, deciding to start stretching muscles and bones from tomorrow.
“Good, I don’t have any particularly crucial skills to practice anyway.”
Although there were still so sword techniques, they were not as valuable for actual combat as fencing, nor as urgent as fencing at that ti. Hence, there was no hurry to practice them. Thus, the importance of agility-based basic skills suddenly erged and had to be practiced well.
With a sigh in his heart, Li Ming missed the era of the internet, when one could just pick and choose various martial arts.
Shaking his head, Li Ming, who felt that his ntal energy had fully recovered and even increased, was about to continue draining his ntal power when he saw Zhang Yuan, whose skirt was short and flirty, looking at him with a spring in her eyes.
Her marvellous legs under her skirt hem were still so eye-catching.
Li Ming licked his lips, feeling no rush to use up his ntal energy. He walked towards Zhang Yuan, lifted her up and carried her in his arms.
“Wait, wait a mont, it’s ti to cook.”
As Li Ming moved, he said with blushing cheeks.
“No problem, it won’t delay.”
Li Ming smiled, seeing that Zhang Yuan was sowhat soft, he supported her waist and went to the kitchen.
Ti to make dinner!
